Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) star Doyin David has declared that she will never participate in any Nigerian reality show again, citing the negative impact it had on her mental health.
In a candid discussion about her experience on BBNaija, Doyin revealed that the show took a toll on her well-being. She accused the editing team of deliberately misrepresenting her personality to fit a specific narrative, which she believes fueled harsh judgment from viewers.
Speaking in a viral video shared on Trendupp Africa, Doyin said, “My experience being on a reality show was mad. Very very crazy experience. I will never do it again in my life, not for any amount. Except it is a show outside the country.”
She added, “They portray you the way they want to. They have given everybody an impression of you that are not really true. A lot of people think some things about my personality, that is not really who I’m at all. But Nigerians are too judgmental, so I’m not blessing them with my presence ever again.”
Doyin’s remarks highlight the challenges reality TV stars face with public perception and the mental strain of being in the spotlight, as well as the lasting effects of media editing on participants’ reputations.
